Boat Projects (Part 3)


Today was all about bottom.
3 hours scrapping in the harbor waters. easier than in the mooring, but you always question the quality of the water, and the presence of sharks - usually attracted by fish parts throw away by local "sport"- fishermen.

Yesterday, I closed-on on the draft version for electronics and dodger plexi.


GNX is installed, and ready to go 

The windvane is up the mast and working.

The dodger do have is windshield.

I devised a plan.
First:  Make it work.
Second: Make it pretty (or prettier).

Surprisingly enough, the "LIST" came down to a basic/simple/ready-to-go handful of items, and this to be ready for the next "big" adventure - likely 2018.

- Mast lights (anchor/ deck / steaming)
- Sat Communications
- Engine panel
- Holding tank pump
- Windlass

I am planning one month in Oahu in January, and hope to act on those 5 items , as a stage 1.
I still have few items to do in-between, but overall, this seems achievable. (and financially bearable).
Back to work!
I still have few days in the harbor before the end of the month.
